7-7 73 yards? Is it possible that Weeden isn't as bad as we thought? Or is it that defenses can stop him after a week of prepping and seeing his film.
He's bad. That TD to Williams skews the numbers.

Just think back a few weeks to when he was stinking it up in preseason. Also, go back and watch last year's Cardinals game.

We beat teh Eagles with 4 or 5 of our best missing. Yeah, they are a fraud.
They absolutely are frauds. But this game wasn't even really that close if that tells you anything.

So legit question, Aikman came back after 5 weeks from this type of injury. If that's the case for Romo he could be back after the bye right?

But the Redskins game last year when he relieved Romo he looked really good. It was actually a shame that Romo forced himself back into that game. I actually didn't think Weeden looked that terrible in preseason but our offensive line was horrendous so it was hard to tell.

Would be week 7.

More satisfying - Holding Demarco Murray to 11 yards, 0 TDs or injuring the Cardinal Emmitt Smith upon his return game?

Is it too late to recast Murray's rushing yardage for the season?

That's 4 games so if Weeden can say go 2-2 we'd be sitting at 4-2 with Romo coming back. That's basically what I'm shooting for. No way we beat the Patriots with Weeden but the other 3 games are all winnable.

Bones usually heal in 4 weeks though, right?
Aikman was 6 weeks but 5 games + 1 bye. We have a bye coming early so it could be the same thing. Just depends on the break and whether it was the same spot he broke before.

Charles Rogers kept fracturing the same clavicle and it was career ending. Well that and his cocaine habit...

The Falcons D is pretty bad. If we can contain Julio Jones we can definitely beat them, but that's a big if.

Deion o the NFL network thinks the Eagles acquired Murray just to get him away from Dallas.

Weird as it is to say, it all hangs on the defense.

It depends on whether it was a compound (displaced bone) fracture, or a simple fracture. Makes a huge difference.
